About

I am a Learning & Assessment Designer and Curriculum Expert based in London, with over six years of experience building curricula, designing CEFR-aligned assessments, and supporting quality assurance across international and digital learning environments. I currently work as an ESOL Writing Examiner and Exam Writer for NOCN, shaping CEFR-aligned high-stakes academic English qualifications and contributing to national standardisation and moderation processes to ensure fairness and regulatory compliance. I thrive on creating scalable, standards-aligned learning products and robust assessment systems, with a strong focus on construct validity, reliability, and fair assessment practices. In addition to curriculum design, I have led QA efforts and digital learning initiatives across diverse settings, from primary education to online language programs.
